Optical Metrology for Fluids, Combustion and Solids is the first practical handbook that presents the assemblage of the techniques necessary to provide a basic understanding of optical measurement for fluids, combustion, and solids. The use of light as a measurement tool has grown over the past twenty years from a narrowly specialized activity to a mainstay of modern research today. Until recently, the knowledge that could be extracted from the light interaction of light with physical objects was limited to specialized activities. The invention of the laser, the computer and microelectronics has enabled a measurement revolution such that virtually every parameter of engineering interest can be measured using the minimally intrusive properties of light. The authors of this book's chapters are leaders in this revolution. They work on the front lines of research in government, industry, and universities, inventing yet more ways to harness the power of light for the generation of knowledge.

Speckle photography is an advanced experimental technique used for quantitatve determination of density, velocity and temperature fields in gas, liquid, and plasma flows. This book presents the most important equations for the diffraction theory of speckle formation and the statistical properties of speckle fields. It also describes experimental set-ups and the equipment needed to implement these methods. Speckle photography methods for automatic data acquisition and processing are considered and examples for their use are given.

From down where the computer--or at least the computer images--are bigger than elsewhere, 59 papers cover segmentation; stereo image analysis; multiresolution, multispectral, and multidimensional analysis; biomedical and color image analysis; and features and invariants. Texts of the two keynotes are not included. A large poster session generated papers on such topics as a neural network approach to geographic image analysis, determining camera position through the Karhunen-Loeve transform, the efficient indexing of multi-color sets for content-based image retrieval, characterizing skin lesion texture in diffuse reflectance spectroscopic images, the knowledge-based extraction of roads from satellite images with one-meter resolution, detecting seat occupation inside vehicles, and segmentation by color space transformation prior to lifting and integer wavelet transformation for efficient lossless coding and transmission. Only authors are indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
